RE: Future Programmers - The future of IBM i

Or if you in Pennsylvania include www.pct.edu ! I would love to see us go back to offering IBM i classes but the businesses that are on our advisory committees or who come to campus for career fairs are not looking for those skills. We are very much focused on teaching students the skills they need to get good paying jobs and most students are focused on learning the skills that will get them a good paying job.

Clay,

As I said in the original note - one of the reasons for the current survey is to try and attract additional schools by demonstrating that there are businesses in their area that need grads. The schools listed are those that have already committed to be part of the program.

Jim is hoping that those businesses, BPs, etc. who support the program will approach/work with their local schools to make this work.

Write to your local Community College!

I see the only listing for CA is:

CERRITOS COLLEGE
Long Beach, CA
Course offerings: IBM i Administration, CL Programming

Which makes me sad... Long Beach is probably a 10 hour drive from
where I am at, and only offering Admin and CL programming. Sure would
be nice if there were more, closer. Of course, it's also difficult to
go to class when you work full time; which my office would support
only if it was related to our business.
